Chapter 23: Save or Destroy (Kamen Rider Decade)

(Meanwhile in Metropolis, Kamen Rider Decade is seen fighting the horde of Betas until Deadshot comes in)

Decade: I don't have time for this, Floyd Lawton. I have to save the people from Brainiac's threat.

Deadshot: You have no time, I have no choice. Any other reason we need to have to fight each other?

Decade: Grodd is no different from Superman. Both seek to destroy mankind. And only I can stop this. And I will pass over anyone who tries to hinder me!

(They fight. Deadshot has great marksmanship and a good fighting experience. But Kamen Rider Decade can access forms of other Kamen Riders and uses it at his advantage. Then He becomes Decade Kiva Basshaa and uses the Basshaa Magnum to defeat the mercenary.)

Decade (Kiva Basshaa): You should have stayed with your daughter when you had a chance!

(Meanwhile Kent Nelson is seen trying to help a citizen, but somehow Nabu prevents him.)

Nabu: NO!

Kent: Why can't I stop this?

(Then Kamen Rider Decade appears)

Decade: You have a problem, Kent?

Kent: Nabu somehow went nuts...

Nabu: HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME?

Decade: I guess I must rid you from him.

(Kamen Rider Decade tries to attack, but Nabu easily shoves him off.)

Nabu: NOW PUT THE HELMET BACK! THINK OF IT AS A PUNISHMENT!!

Decade: (gets up) Okay... No more playing around!

Driver: Kamen Ride: Wizard! Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi-Hi!

(Then he becomes Decade Wizard.)

Decade (Wizard): Let Kent go!

Doctor Fate: NEVER! HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN BETRAY THE LORDS OF ORDER!!

(Knowing that the Lords of Order refuse to listen to his reasonings, Kamen Rider Decade decides to fight him. Thanks to his ability to control Kamen Rider Wizard's elemental manipulations, he manages to defeat the fallen agent of order.)

Decade (Wizard): Now stay down!

(Kamen Rider Decade tries to take Doctor Fate's helm off, but Nabu shoves him off again.)

Doctor Fate: (gets up) You're not supposed to be the savior, but the destoyer!

Decade (Wizard): (angry) YOU DARE LECTURE ME! HOW CAN THERE BE ORDER IF I LET EARTH TO BE DESTROYED? WHY SHOULD I LET BRAINIAC WIN?

Doctor Fate: (creates a portal) Humanity breeds Chaos! Brainiac is Order!

(Then Doctor Fate goes through the portal.)

Decade (Wizard): WAIT!

(The portal dissipates.)

Decade (Wizard): Damn it...

(Then Brainiac 8 comes in)

Brainiac 8: Either you or my father. In the end, the results will be exactly the same.

Decade (Wizard): You mean the earth will be destroyed anyway?

Brainiac 8: Yes. And there's nothing you can do!

(They fight. Decade decides to become Decade Ghost and fight her. Since she had no ability to prevent him from entering in her body, she was easily overwhelmed.)

Decade (Ghost): He corrupted you...

(Suddenly the mechanical parts leave her body and her outfit reveals to be a silver skirt and a silver blouse.)

????: Thank... you...

Decade (Ghost): Who are you anyway?

????: My name... is Indigo. I am... one of the few coluans... who don't seek... to assimilate planets...

Decade (Ghost): So Brainiac corrupted you and made you that monster.

Indigo: Exactly...

(Then Kamen Rider Decade carries her in bridal style and sets to find the other heroes.)

(Shin Samurai Gattai DaiKai ShinkenOh is seen going towards Brainiac's ship as Batwing follows. Batman and Catwoman are seen inside the Batwing.)

Catwoman: Superman and Supergirl are almost here. The others are tackling the fleet. Shouldn't we be in Gotham?

Batman: Brainiac controls the entire fleet from that Skull Ship. Take HIM down, take them ALL down.

S.S. Red: Contacts, dead ahead!

(Batman looks up to see a bunch of Beta ships heading straight for them. He manages to evade their laser blasts and shoot back, continuing to head for the Skull Ship. The Kryptonians arrive and start blasting the other Betas with their heat vision, blasting a hole in their defenses.)

S.S. Pink: They gave us an opening!

Kevin E. Levin: (comes in along with Ben 10 as Jetray, Powergirl and Gwen) Aim for the skull ship!

(They shoot. The shots make contact, but caused minimal damage. Then The shields are activated. They not only cover the ship but also send a blast that zaps the controls of Shin Samurai Gattai DaiKai ShinkenOh, Batwing and even Omnitrix.)

Ben 10 (as Jetray): What the... (suddenly becomes Atomix) Hell?

Kevin E. Levin: Man, not even the omnitrix is immune to whatever Brainiac did?

Ben 10 (as Atomix): Thanks for reminding me!

(Powergirl and Gwen save Batman and Catwoman.)

Gwen: What happened?

Batman: Brainiac's force field is creating a concussive feedback loop.

Powergirl: This must explain what happened to Ben's omnitrix.

S.S. Green: So, the harder we hit it, the harder it hits BACK.

(Supergirl, having not heard this, flies towards the ship.)

Super Soldier: AUNT KARA!

(Sure enough, Supergirl tries to punch the ship, but the shields zaps her electricity. Furthermore, when Superman goes to help her, HE gets blasted, too. The shields then blasts the two Supers down to the ground.)

Super Soldier: This is no good!

(The Daily Planet Building is next to be sucked up.)

S.S. Yellow: WE MUST STOP HIM!

(As they regain control of Shin Samurai Gattai DaiKai ShinkenOh, they try their best to stop Brainiac's skull ship, but the results are the same. Miles outside of what's left of Metropolis, Superman and Supergirl lay in a crater made by their impact. Superman comes to first, groaning in pain as he gets up. He goes over to Supergirl and uses his X-ray vision to see her heart still beating; she's just unconscious. He then looks up at the Skull Ship...and, in his anger, he flies up. He then looks down. It's like deja vu all over again; Metropolis, the city he called home, is now a massive crater...just like it was when it was nuked nearly a decade ago. And, just like when he killed Lois to make it happen, Superman does NOT take it well.)

Superman: NO-O-O-O-O-O-O!

(He flies into the ship twice, trying to break through the shields. Then the Batwing flies up.)

Batman: Superman, the force shield concentrates its energy at your point of attack! Move faster than it can and you might break through!

Superman: Got it.

(Superman, who can travel many times faster than light when need be, starts a stick-and-move campaign, punching hard and then moving before the blast can hit. He goes all around the ship, going faster and faster. However, the next punch landed by Superman sends the concussive feedback into him and knocks him into Metropolis crater. He's still conscious, though; he is able to stand as the ship starts to descend upon him. A tentacle lowers and blasts a ray many times more powerful than the Betas'. Superman grunts in pain but stays upright. Meanwhile, Supergirl has awoken and flies to see her cousin in trouble, multiple tenacles now blasting him. He drops to his knees and his skin starts to crack. As Supergirl gets closer, an explosion is seen, knocking her, the Batwing, the Shin Samurai Gattai DaiKai ShinkenOh AND Brainiac's ship backwards. Supergirl recovers the fastest...and looks VERY worried.)

Supergirl: Kal.

(Supergirl flies into the blast to look for him)

Super Soldier: Aunt Kara. WAIT!

Black Widow: Nephew!

Winter Soldier: Wait for me!

(A few minutes later, as the smoke clears, the Batwing lands in the crater. Supergirl is sitting there, a defeated look on her face. Batman and Catwoman get out of Batwing while Jaune, Virginia, Zach, Kevin Grayson, Cynthia and Anthony get out of Shin Samurai Gattai DaiKai ShinkenOh. The other heroes also come in, seeing no sign of Superman. In the background, Flash and Kamen Rider Drive show up to assess the damage.)

Supergirl: (saddened) I couldn't find his body...can't hear his heartbeat. I was supposed to protect him... (to Super Soldier) to protect you... from this... (points at Batman, Black Widow and Winter Soldier) from THEM! And now he's gone! I'm sure that's the best news they and the others have heard all day.

Dick Grayson: (approaches Supergirl) Bruce will miss him too.

Super Soldier: You mean that?

Shazam: He was a great hero once. Everybody trusted him with their lives. But the Joker got to him... and Nobody was there to stop it. Everybody lost the old Clark Kent. And... everyone missed the one who was a hero ever since.

(A Boom Tube opens to reveal Cyborg, Kamen Rider Blade, Kamen Rider Wizard, Kamen Rider Gaim, Stella Vermillion, Green Lantern and Aquaman. Batman seems to know what happened.)

S.S. Gold: Atlantis.

Aquaman: Gone. I didn't listen. Now, we all die together.

Batman: No one's giving up yet. Anyone hear from Beetle or Firestorm?

Starfire: Now you mentioned...

Wonder Woman: (from above) This is your fault, Bruce! (landing near them) Kal and I would've BEATEN Brainiac! You should've followed our lead!

(Then Kamen Rider Decade comes in carrying the unconscious Indigo while in Decade Kuuga Titan Form.)

Decade (Kuuga Titan): You think HE is the responsible for THIS? YOU manipulated him! Made him kill innocent people!

Wonder Woman: INNOCENT?

Decade (Kuuga Titan): Yeah, innocent! You're the worst!

Wonder Woman: You'll pay for this insult!

(They fight. Due to her reckless attitude, Wonder Woman was simply no match for the power of Kamen Rider Decade.)

Decade (Kuuga Titan): You're the reason why this world is dying! 

(Supergirl and Super Soldier come in and stand between them)

Super Soldier: Had enough yet?

Supergirl: You better! Millions of people are trapped on that ship! We have to save them!

Wonder Woman: Not with them!

(Suddenly, a hologram of Brainiac appears.)

Brainiac: Such discord. No wonder humans have yet to expand their civilization beyond the confines of this tiny planet.

Blade: Did you call us just to gloat?

Brainiac: My Betas are taking position all across your planet. In one hour, they will explode in unison, burning the Earth's athmosphere, rendering this world a barren moon. Unless...YOU surrender, Kara Zor-El. She is Krypton's sole survivor...and my last opportunity to study the effect of a yellow sun on Kryptonian cells. Surrender her...and I will spare this world.

Super Soldier: Even if you kept your part of the deal, we would never surrender my aunt!

Brainiac: You have one hour to reconsider. (disappears)

Supergirl: Thanks for giving the "new girl" a chance, but...maybe I should go.

S.S. Red: No! We'll find a way to take down Brainiac's shields. We HAVE to.

Red Robin: We could try shorting them out. But we'd need to generate an insane amount of power.

Black Adam: (floating in) Perhaps science is not the answer.

Batman: (approaches Black Adam as he lands) So he might be vulnerable to a magic-based attack.

Winter Soldier: Even though my metal arm could withstand some of Black Adam's magic, it can't withstand his power at its fullest.

Black Adam: I can drive the immense magical power from the Rock of Eternity through the gateway in Kahndaq. But like Winter Soldier said, an artifact is necessary, a medium to channel it... something that can withstand the power.

Aquaman: (holding up trident) How about the Trident of Atlantis?

Black Adam: Yes...that could work.

Ben 10: We get the shields down...THEN what? Brainiac controls that ship with his thoughts.

Cyborg: But I cut him off from Brother Eye. It's possible I could make a signal disrupter that blocks his neural network. If you get Brainiac's shields down, we can disarm those Beta bombs.

Batman: Then that's our plan. Aquaman, Adam, get to Kahndaq.

(Our heroes decides to use their last resort to try to face Brainiac. Will they be able to do so?)
